MAGA whisperer Steve Bannon said on Wednesday that the Republican Party got a look at its future without President Donald Trump during Tuesday's election.

Bannon joined MAGA TV personality Eric Bolling on his eponymous show on Real America's Voice to discuss Tuesday's election results. Democrats swept key races in Virginia and won big in counties that Trump previously won in the 2024 election cycle.

President Donald Trump appeared "exhausted" and made a number of gaffes during his speech to the America Business Forum in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, his critics said.

Speaking to business leaders, Trump appeared to confuse South Africa with South America, where he said people came to the U.S. fleeing communism. South Africa was never a communist country, but countries like Venezuela and Colombia have contributed to immigrants fleeing communism for America. Trump has spent the past several months in office sending them back.

A day after resounding victories in state and local elections around the country, Democrats received a bit of unfortunate news in Maine, where Rep. Jared Golden announced his decision not to seek re-election in the Bangor Daily News.

Golden, one of many Democrats first elected in the 2018 wave election of President Donald Trump's first term, holds one of the most Republican-leaning districts of any sitting Democratic lawmaker — and his departure will make holding the seat more difficult for his party.

President Donald Trump seemed to confuse Cuba and South Africa in a speech in Miami.

While speaking to the American Business Forum on Wednesday, Trump claimed that his opponents were "hell-bent on turning America into a communist Cuba, or socialist Venezuela."

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) on Wednesday confronted Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to his face over his refusal to even speak with Democrats over the government shutdown — and Capitol Police moved in to usher her away.

Johnson claims that his House has passed a continuing resolution to fund the government that should now pass the Senate — and he has nothing to negotiate. His stance is that the Senate must pass his bill before any conversations take place.

After more than a month, the partial shutdown of the United States' federal government drags on. President Donald Trump is calling for Senate Republicans to "get rid of the filibuster" in order to get a spending bill passed and end the shutdown, but many conservatives are uncomfortable with that idea.

Frustrated Americans were hoping that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) had found enough votes to get a bill passed in the Senate. But Punchbowl News' Andrew Desiderio, in a November 5 post on X, formerly Twitter, reported, "Thune on the filibuster post-Trump breakfast: 'I know where the votes are. The answer is, there aren't the votes.'"

The Department of Homeland Security taunted the wife of a legal migrant who is currently in detention pending deportation, directly addressing her on social media Wednesday and accusing her husband of being a “terrorist sympathizer.”

Sami Hamdi, a British journalist who was in the United States on a visitor visa, was detained last month in San Francisco, California. He had his visa revoked, and is currently detained at the Golden State Annex in McFarland, California awaiting deportation.
